one in a million

MONDAY HAD finally rolled around, and Eloda was excited to be able to go to work and see Wilbur. However, she had never actually seen him around before, probably because she wasn't in so much but also maybe because he worked higher up. Slipping the pair of converse that matched with Wilbur, she opened the door. Making sure to lock it behind, she realised how much she was actually thinking about Wilbur. She'd just met him, but there was something so enticing about him. Eloda slung her backpack across her shoulder and took the flight of stairs down to the lobby.
Her phone buzzed every now and again as she walked, but she ignored them thinking they weren't important. Now stood on the station edge as a train pulled in, she pulled her phone out of her back pocket to realise that it was Wilbur messaging her. They were asking if she was in work today and if he would see her. She answered, telling him only if he's lucky. She stood up on the whole ride there, warm bodies crowding the train. It was always busy at the times she travelled on a train. People either listening to music or conversion, small eruptions of laugher every now and again. Some students also travelled the same route she did, their chatter louder than those older.

Doors sliding open, the warmth from the inside hit Eloda suddenly. It was comforting, sort of like a blanket being pulled over her body. She took the elevator to the second floor, the white, metal paneling vivid amongst the black buttons on the wall of it. As the elevator doors opened, she watched as Wilbur walked into one of the higher up offices. Shrugging it off, she made her way over to her own office, which was a lot smaller than the higher up ones. She pulled out her worksheets and logged onto her computer, beginning to get stuck into her work. She slumped down slightly into her chair. However got annoyed as she had only started on her work when someone decided to knock. "Yeah who is it?" She chimed, signalling to open to door. The person walked in, Eloda peering over her moniter. He was in fully smart clothes, a shirt fit with a tie. His nails were painted a deep black, or as deep as black could be. A small stack of paperwork clasped in his hands, he spoke. "Hello Eloda, nice seeing you." It was Wilbur, how in gods name would she have known it was him.

"Hey, what brings you here?" She asked casually. Although her work environment was not so smart, she felt severely underdressed in comparison to Wilbur. He smiles, placing the work down on her desk.
"Just thought I'd say hi, and I also needed to give you this. Just some new storyboard ideas." She sighed, flicking through a couple of the pages. Nodding her head, She pulled the pile over to herself and began sorting through. Wilbur didn't move, it seemed he stared at her until she actually realised. "Something else?" She stopped what she was doing, glancing at him. He shook his head, a small smile on his face. "Just, admiring. You're beautiful, you know?" A blush crept onto her face. Wilbur shuffled closer to Eloda, bending down to her face, inches apart. He lifted his hand the her face, his thumb rubbing against her cheek as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Pulling himself away, Wilbur walked back toward the door of her office. "If you get bored on breaks, come see me. I'm across from you it seems." Eloda realised why he walked into the higher up office earlier, he was one of the few people who actually ran the place - full control. She nodded, hiding her face behind her moniter. Her face was red all over, partially from him being so close and partially from him basically inviting her to his office. Normally, she would go out for coffee alone on her breaks but maybe she would take up Wilbur's invitation just this once. Eloda began to sort through the new papers she had recieved, sorting them by 'animation chapters', as she liked to call them.

Eloda let out an audible sigh, slouching in her chair. She had finally finished animating part of the small stack of papers gave her Wilbur in the morning. She got up from her chair, stretching our her limbs finally and strolled out of her office and across to Wilbur's. She decided to take the invitation and knocked lightly on his door. "Come in." his voice reverberated against the door in front of her. pulling the handle down, she stepped in to see his office fully decorated, plants strewn across the shelves, some even in front of the window sat directly behind him. A smile rose on Wilbur's blank expressioned face. "Eloda! Please come sit." He smiled widely. She pulled up a chair to hsi desk and sat opposite him. "No no, next to me." He gestured to his side. She pulled the chair next to his and sat, a tired d expression showing on her face. Wilbue pulled his arm to her face, cupping her cheek. He gently pushed her face down to his shoulder. "You look tired. Did you sleep last night?" A yawn escaping her mouth, she nodded looking down at her lap. She fiddled with the hem of her shirt, Wilbur's hands near hers. "Do you want something to eat? We can always go and get something?"
